The New York Giants swapped out one Minuteman for another on Thursday.

Former University of Massachusetts wide receiver Jeremy Horne was waived/injured by the Giants just days after the ex-Minuteman was carted off the practice field with what appeared to be a serious foot or ankle injury.

In his place, New York has brought in another face familiar to UMass fans: wide receiver Julian Talley.

Talley, who played in Amherst from 2008 to 2011, amassing 2,090 yards and 11 touchdowns on 162 receptions and taking home all-Colonial Athletic Association second-team honors as a junior, had previously taken part in the Giants 2012 preseason training camp.
